Stonegate Golf Club
About
Situated just a few minutes from Muskegon, Stonegate Golf Club in Stone Lake sprawls across gently rolling hills that are surrounded by the beauty of the Manistee National Forest. The undulating terrain provides dramatic elevation changes that can give you a different round every time you play. Although there are residences bordering the golf course, it still feels completely secluded thanks to the sheltering trees and pristine natural setting that is accented with marshes and ponds. The golf course has a variety of greens, most are slightly raised and some are open in front while others have slopes and bunkers protecting them. The putting surfaces roll true with only a few mild undulations. Stonegate's fairways can be tricky since they’re lined with mature pines and hardwoods and more often than not you’ll find one or more bunkers guarding the most opportune landing areas.

Gorgeous Course!
Gorgeous and challenging course, well maintained. Nestled in the woods with the wildlife. A definite must play!
Excellent
An awesome golf track that I would recommend to all my friends. Truly impressed with the layout and design. The staff friendliness wad impeccable...
Great track in the Muskegon area
I was presently surprised how great a shape this course was. Greens were fast Fair ways were lush. The staff was very helpful and friendly and made you feel at home.
Beautiful Course Well Maintained
The course and staff were great, greens were fast and had a lot of movement. Really enjoyed playing can’t wait to come back.
Up North Feel closer to home
Great layout in great condition. As good as anything we have played all year.
Horrible experience
Not necessarily the courses fault. But the actions of the foursome who thought they owned the place, and the ranger who made it perfectly clear to me that singles have no rights on the golf course, led to me leave the course after 12 holes. Something I've never done before in my life. That foursome skipped the 11th hole to get in front of me and leapfrogged at least 2 foursomes in the process. All without even going through the motions of asking for permission. As a single whose playing partners left after 9 holes, I caught back up to them immediately and let them know how displeased I was at their actions and lack of effort to try to stay well ahead of the people they passed. They and the ranger put the blame on me. Whatever. Enjoy your course. I'll never return.
A diamond in the rough
Excellent course conditions and an engaging playout. I think the 120 slope from the whites is a bit underrated. Several holes have challenging carrys over creeks and wetlands crossing the fairways. Bring your A game!
Great layout, but not for the timid
This highly rated course did not disappoint. Challenging layout, perfect conditions, welcoming staff. But at age 76; playing from the whites, I found the slope to be underrated with the many contours and carrys more than I could handle. And for first timers, be sure to get the course booklet from the pro shop as there are several hidden challenges just over the next hill crest.
Immaculate
The course was in immaculate condition- fairway, second cut, rough and greens were all cut perfectly- beautiful views on all holes, was a truly great experience playing here and would highly recommend.
PACE: Paired up with another single, and we moved along just fine. The single in front of us would've benefitted from playing thru the 3-some ahead of him, but he seemed content.
CONDITIONS: Tees, fairways, greens, and bunkers all is great condition.
STAFF: Got me paid and out on the first tee. No starter/ranger for the afternoon on Sunday, which seemed unusual.
LAYOUT: Fun design. Played over a ravine early in the round. The back 9 toys around some slight elevations changes, which was fun. I took a cart for my first round, but would walk next time I play it.
